Remember the definition of a bureaucrat: It's a person who CUTS red tape. Lengthwise.

And at headquarters, they do the same with a fingernail clipper.

Ron, we will never be able to determine, for sure, unless one actually goes onto the background check web page.
Any thing else can be misstated, etc.
Do not judge anything unless you actually see...

Chris, I have been in contact with Bret, concerning this matter, for quite some time. We emailed about every couple of weeks concerning the progress. My post @ #107 is the complete email, and the...

I'm with you Chris, somehow we must have this verified as soon as possible. There would be evidence if one would go onto the background page, but as of this time, I will not go near the site. If Bret...

You will need to talk to Bret....that is where I received the information. If the information is incorrect, then Bret is lying.

Finally, the language has been updated.

The latest sign-off. Several things have changed, including the language that talks about bankruptcy and of course the on-going...

I also have had communications with a certain EAA staff member for some time now, and have been promised a positive solution to the "data mining" authority which is now in effect with the present...

Eric, lets hope you are completely wrong..........there had better be major changes in the "authorization" statement on the background check page of the website.

The following quote from the background check page of their website indicates it may not stop with the Young Eagles.

And waiting, and waiting, and waiting!!

"With a few exceptions" is like saying, I'm a gentle person, I don't beat my wife, with a few exceptions.
It's amazing that the longer the excuses the more sad it becomes.

I must remind you also that it is not so much that some folks are upset with the way the world is today, but rather the way this program is worded. I do wish you a very happy vacation, I'm sure you...

If you take into consideration the wording for the "Authorization" for the background check, you must assume that what they are collecting is ALL of the above and as often as they want!

For your information, Dennis, it was not so much the membership causing confusion but rather the policy itself, and the band aid fixex. Don't try to blame someone else for the complete inept program...

I do agree with closing a 75 page thread, although there was very good information at the beginning. I am very curious as to the timing. Perhaps headquarters thought a cooling off time would be good,...

Clearly there is a major problem at headquarters. We were aware of this for some time, but the action today clearly tells us to "just go away". Headquarters will do as they please and if the heat...

It seems unbelievable that senior management would have allowed this “authorization” to pass. Unfortunately this is what we have. We have been trying to get answers, concerning the website, ever...

The more they try to explain it, the more confusing it becomes. Just go away!

Headquarters must protect youth from all the perverts out there who are flying young eagles. WHAT A CROCK. For your information, Eric, there are no, nor have there ever been, any problems with child...

I completely agree with the first part of your post, but must disagree with only the last part. The whole program is an irresponsible disaster. No matter how many bandages are put on this absurdity,...

I agree the Young Eagles Program must not fail and I believe it will continue, as long as headquarters keeps its fingers off of the program, which it seem they are not going to do.
The Young Eagles...

What a great story and you are indeed "a good Ambassador for General Aviation". I can't disagree with anything you said. The very best to you and yours.

I am very sorry, Jeff, if I offended you. Believe me, that was in no way my intentions, as one can be see if one reads every word in my post. I do, however, respect your opinion, but must disagree....

I, also, would probably be to embarrassed to respond.
